Walking Day kicks off with fitness fair, competition

National Walking Day is Wednesday, April 3, and the American Heart Association is celebrating with fitness demonstrations, an exercise flash mob and the launch of the Show Us Your Moves Competition during the Main Plaza Conservancy farmer’s market from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Tuesday, April 2.

The Show Us Your Moves Competition encourages the community to demonstrate how they like to exercise for a chance to win prizes. During the fitness fair Tuesday, the American Heart Association will be taking photographs and video of participants trying different fitness activities for entries into the competition. Individuals and groups also can submit photos and video to the American Heart Association San Antonio Facebook page through April.

Each week, a winner will receive a prize of workout gear, and at the end of the month, the organization will name a grand prize winner, who will lead the warm-up exercises at the 2013 San Antonio Heart Walk in October.

Check out the American Heart Association staff showing off their moves.
